I have been so upset about all the crap going on for us, financially, but, when something like this happens, it really makes you KNOW what is important. I'm glad Otto is ok...I'm so sad for those lives that were forever affected by something so terrible. I understand about your extra hugs for your family. They really ARE the only TRULY important thing in life. Mir, I thought of you guys, when I heard about that.

I think "Athens," I think you. Regarding the post of 4/21 - glad I don't live in Athens. Tell Otto they closed the car museum at Stone Mountain. I'm going to miss that quirky place.

Anyway, for a more important contribution to help Chickadee-have you ever used liquid bandage for cuts and abrasions? Its amazing and waterproof! However, it should be put on a dry skin surface to work, so she's a few days away from that. Be warned that it HURTS LIKE THE DICKENS (my daughter and I deal with pain like this by loudly uttering words like bad Japanese actors) for about a minute after applying-but it'll help prevent scabs from ripping off with bandaids because it replaces them and it makes the injury site less sensitive because it dries into a tough membrane. You don't have to take it off cuz it wears off, and if you keep applying over the previous application it won't hurt.So there. I garnered all this wisdom after using it after I clipped the tip off a finger off whilst pruning(don't ask) and was VERY glad I found it. Good luck Chickadee, this won't last forever,it'll just feel that way! I,too, sent a lil prayer your way when I heard about the shooting not being sure where you live/work.

I too shun the news generally but I happened to catch the crawl while I was on the elliptical at the gym. I did a double-take and found the remote so I could turn on the captions. It happened right behind the house I got married in. It was all roped off when I drove by later that day. It was a sad, terrible day in our town. However, i was with a friend from Atlanta on Saturday afternoon and we remarked that all the commotion surrounding the event is at least a testament to the safety of our city. Things like this just don't happen here very often. My friend remarked that had this happened in Atlanta she might have seen a small mention on the nightly news but other than that it would have been just another day. Doesn't make it less tragic but at least it reminds me of one of the reasons I still live here. I thought about y’all on Saturday when i learned what happened.

I'm so sorry you had to deal with this. I also work on a university campus and stories like this are so scary. We had a murder/suicide on our campus many years ago and I remember my husband calling me at home since I was off and saying "I am fine but I needed you to hear this from me first". It happened right near our car in the lot and he didn't know if the news would show it and I would freak out. Hugs to all of you.

Saying a prayer for Chickie's quick recovery. My brother did this when he was 7 & landed on his face. (He still claims it was my fault because we'd switched bikes for a race.) He split his front two teeth into a triangle. It was the day before we were leaving for a disneyland trip, which my mom said was "lucky" because his whole body was road rash & at least it was warm enough down there to wear loose shorts & tank tops the whole time.
